The ‘MAD Club’, the first Mountain bike club in Ireland, the Mountainbiking Association of Dublin was born in 1989, here is some video clips of the early days of the club and the first MTB races in Ireland.
The club had sunday spins from the Yellow House in Rathfarnham. While numbers were low at the start it quickly grew over the early years. MTB racing in Ireland followed in 1990.
The video quality is not great, difficult to get HQ from old VHS tape, hopefully I’ll manage to re-do a better copy in the near future of this old material.
